Re: Best way to deal with chariot archers?
I haven't fought against the Egyptians, yet. Campaigns are over before I can get there. But I've had good success against Brit chariots using the heaviest cav I can acquire and attacking them in wedge. Sounds silly, but the chariots usually come on in line, and the wedge splits them, really lowering morale. Once split, wheel into the back of either flank and they usually route. It chews up your cav, but they generally succeed, and they are pretty cheap in this game.
Re: Best way to deal with chariot archers?
Well I've been using at least 6 deep huge units & chariots have been driving through some of those.
Dogs get chewed (& huge dog units are fearsome indeed)
I've been having trouble with the stock chariot archers too.
